Article Photos: Amid tensions, Chinese fruit a turnoff in Vietnam1/8

In this March 9, 2013 photo, porters unload boxes of Chinese oranges at Long Bien wholesale market for fruits and vegetables in Hanoi, Vietnam. Around half of the produce at the market is trucked in from China, arriving in the city in the middle of the night and distribute for Hanoi and neighbor areas. China has emerged as one of the world's leading exporters of fruit and vegetables, and is increasingly taking market share from U.S. producers in Asian markets. It grows more apples than any other country. There are no figures on how much of the crop Vietnam imports. Chinese fruit is often cheaper than Vietnamese, and offers more variety.(AP Photo/Na Son Nguyen)
